It is essential that treatment for stroke is given as fast as they could to be able to minimize the measure of long-term damage. Sadly, another study has proposed that 33 percent of Americans would be not able to get to a primary stroke center in 1 hour if they have to.

“Once a stroke is recognized, pre-hospital providers must be able to rapidly deliver patients to appropriate centers, making the geographic accessibility of these centers critically important,” the authors say.
